mayor this evening. According to the
Press, the prominent names mentioned
include: Judge r. S. Greene, George
Adair, L. I. Minor. II. l.. Yesier, W. Il.
Taylor and Isaac Parker.
Mr.. A s. Learned OF Irondale has
just completed an attractive novelty in
the shape OF a miniature mountain made
up of drippings from the furnace. It is
enclosed in a neat glass show case, and
can be seen at James Jones grocery
store.
Mr.. Henry W. Mcpherson, for many
years a resident of Dungeness, has just
arrived, after few years stay in Arizo-
ma and California. He is looking very
/ well preserved, and evidently finds
Puget Sound a pleasant place to get
| back TO.
1t must be said in justice to Mayor
Smith that he has given largely of Lis
time to The duties of office during his
incumbsncy, and that he has been the
means of bringing the financial affairs
Of the city to system, and has also ma
terially reduced current expenses. Capt.
deLion represents the best progressive
public spirit in the town-and SO, we are
pretty sure to have a safe man at the
wheel.
A. d. Moore, Esq, principal owner of
the Port Discovery saw mills, was in
town today. Mrs. Moore accompanied
Der husband north this time, and will
remain few weeks at Discovery, after
which she will go to Wisconsin for a
visit. Messrs. Moore & Smith have
large interests il California as well as on
Puget Sound. They are firm believers
ia the destiny of Port Townsend bay
and Quimper peninsula, and are among
the solid hackers of the University Of
Puget Sound, TO be located "a Port
Townsend Bay.
A fine entertainment-that Philhar-
monic Club musical concert last evening,
It was simply immense. Prof. Weiner's
flute solo was specially worthy OF mem
ton. OF course Nine. Annie Louise Tan
neE was the star of the occasion. She has
one of the very finest soprano voices We
have ever heard. Her rendition of the
"Wren" with flute obligato, brought
storms of applause. Mr.. Sehenck's solo
Oh the violoncello was loudly encored,
as was also the extremity difficult but
-.rtistieally rendered violin solo by Mr..
Arnold. Taken altogether, the enter
talnment was such as We seldom have an
opportunity of enjoying in Port Town.
seGd. Should these artists ever come
this way again they viii meet with a
hearty reception.
Those misunderstanding boys in town
have not yet been caught. They seem
to have special spite at DR.. Minkler.
Last evening small crowd of them
threw a volley of stones at the front of
his residence, one missile crashing
through window in the second story,
and narrowly missing Prof. Powell who
was lying upon q sick bed. There were
eight of the boys. and they stood next to
Mr.. Eisenbeis' barn, opposite DIR. Mink
ler's. It would not be wonder if some
of them we're shot yet. They have been
repeatedly warned, and rewards have
been offered for their conviction. Their
victims are tired of persecution; and, as
the police seem indifferent, there Is but
one course left, viz: self defence. Ii
somebody loses his life while commit
ting misdemennor or crime, he will
have himself to blame. The ARGUS
would regret 10 see such an outcome
from what is evidently intended as fun;
4 but we have repeatedly done our duty in
the way of kindly warning. Several
citiz5ns have suffered shamefulIy, and
forbearancs has ceased to be virtue.
We shall not refer to this again till we
have chance to tell about some boy
getting filed full of shot. That is what
it is surely coming to.
